Preheat oven to 450°F. Place flatbreads directly on the oven rack (or on a preheated baking stone/inverted baking sheet) for a crispy bottom. Brush each flatbread with olive oil, then spread a generous layer of basil pesto over the surface, leaving a ½-inch border.

Arrange mozzarella slices over the pesto. Scatter shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, and red onion over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake at 450°F for 10–13 minutes until the edges of the flatbread are crispy and charred in spots, the cheese is fully melted and bubbling, and the tomatoes have collapsed and begun to caramelize. Top with fresh basil, shaved Parmesan, and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze. Slice and serve immediately.
